Goals of the Working Group

• Make aware SwiNG members of ongoing efforts to build Campus Grids in Switzerland

• Expertise and practical usage sharing of Desktop Grids• Track deployments and sizes of campus grids among SwiNG

members• Discuss, coordinate and standardize ongoing and future

Campus Grid projects• Discuss strategies for enabling, deploying, operating

applications in the context of Campus Grids



Current Campus grids in Switzerland

1'000 (Condor)

400(X-WebCH)

300 (Condor)300 (Condor, SGE, XGrid)

14'000 (BOINC)(STI - Volunteer Grid)

300 (United Devices)

240 (Condor)

150 (Condor)

100+ (?)



Current Campus grids in Switzerland – Summing up

• Huge variety of Grid Middlewares in use: • Several Condor Pools

• XtremWeb-CH

• Apple X-Grid

• United Devices

• Sun Grid Engine

• BOINC (not for a campus grid proper, but still...)



Scientific fields using the Campus Grids

Again a huge variety:• Medical applications

• Cryptography

• Operations research

• Biology

• Forensic sciences

• Computer sciences

• Linguistic

• Applied Mathematics

• Earth sciences

• Molecular Dynamics

• Computational Chemistry



Future Projects

• Look for potential inter-operability amongst Campus Grids currently deployed

— Integration into workflow systems (JOpera for instance)• Keep a centralized (and middleware-agnostic) statistics

tracking system—Goal: keep track of current Campus Grids sizes, and jobs

count• Meetings amongst managers of widely represented

middlewares to share operational experiences and ideas
